Living in Newcastle
Barker House sits in the NE2 area of Newcastle, within walking and cycling distance of both Newcastle University and University of Northumbria. Students at Newcastle College will also find the building conveniently placed, although it’s a longer journey than the two universities.
The building itself is arranged around communal spaces that make it easy to meet other students. In addition to a shared garden, there’s a common room with a communal TV, plus a communal kitchen for residents who prefer to cook and eat together rather than separately in their rooms.
Is Barker House right for you?
Barker House suits students who want the privacy of an en-suite room combined with genuine communal space to socialise. The garden and common room work well for students who want a break from their desk, while the study area gives quieter options when deadlines are close. As a result, it tends to appeal to a mix of first-years wanting some independence and returning students who already know the building and its routines.
